| Morgan E Zigler | |
)
|
Morgan was born in Alberta, Canada way back in April of 1983. He grew up in the far north, above the artic circle for the first two years of his life. Thereafter he was chased out of town by timber-wolves and settled (somewhat)in the interior of British Columbia with his family, to be raised in the interesting little hamlet of Salmon Arm. Morgan was really raised by Jewish Grizzly bears in the backwoods and yearns to go back there, to mount a full frontal assault on the wolves that drove him out of the north. He also would like to go digging for his maple roots as he was taught by the Grizzly elder, Sitting-Backscratch. |
| 关于此艺术家 | |
Condemned to a schizophrenic art practice, Morgan flips between his heartfelt connection with the natural world (environmental sensitivity, activism and learning practical skills for self-sufficiency), his searching for Jewish roots (manifesting in a series of exhibitions concerning the holocaust entitled 'Surviving Memory' and in my journey to study Judaism and art in Jerusalem in 2005), alternative protest activities (with the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army and through many unsolicited public works), and his martial side (martial arts, fire performance and many long wanderings). Morgan calmly observes the interactions between these personalities and finds it quite entertaining when they act out in public and create. He wonders which will prevail. |

We All Dissect Nature...
2006 |
','Image'))
|
| "We All Dissect Nature Along Lines Laid Down By Our Own Native Languages," was an exercise in intuition, observation of nature and growth. Tracings of light and reflections appear throughout the space. On the desks there are more formal studies of the plants and light filtering into the room, consistently erased as growth was observed. Every attempt was made to stimulate growth and document observations. A sensitivity to using found materials and reusing my wastes (such as compost from food consumed over the installation becoming food for the plants) became a primary concern.

Shelter
2007 |
)
|
| An installation from a recent group show at the Stroud House Gallery, in Gloucestershire, UK, entitled "The Farm." This work was playfully created with the contrast of a structure for farm animals which is at once a shelter and a prison, both a comfort and domestication.
Inside the shelter, hand build with an odd mixture of labor intensive natural materials and those from a local farm, is contained a layer of hay in which there is the imprint of a human body. The room in which it is installed in completely free from artificial light, only the smallest amount trickling in from the adjacent rooms. As your eyes adjust to the light, details become subtly and disturbingly clear.

Guerilla Gardening
2006 |
','Image'))
|
| This subversive method of plant propagation is a form of direct action where the prime purpose, most often, is to beautify, greenify, or otherwise bring life into spaces which are overcome with the trappings of industrial building materials, imported concrete and other such dead depressive elements of the urban landscape. The example included here was planted into Glasgow's Charring Cross intermediate traffic space. As the photographs partially represent, this space is an island of sterile grass in the midst of constant traffic. This specific intervention was intended to liven up the biodiversity of this little green space, with a plant that one (of the many) stumbling Glaswegians pulled out of a flower pot down town one Friday evening. Getting this fragile thing to this plot in the midst of the roar of a drunken mess that Glasgow often turns into at night, without getting beat up, was an accomplishment in itself.

The memories of childhood...

| THE MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD REMEBER CHILDISH HANDS.
This image is a video-still from painting instillations created in various places around Jerusalem in 2005. It is from a series of unsolicited public works reflecting my memories of Israel from eight years ago, resurrected and re-presented on signboards in secular and orthodox areas of Jerusalem. The video's record half-second intervals every thirty seconds of the paintings often begun at midnight and completed around sunrise. Tracing the intact advertisements for which the signs were created, through painting and eventually being covered up and "forgotten" once again.
Painted over the course of six hours, from midnight to sunrise. This specific work was created from a memory from Yad Vashem (the holocaust memorial foundation and interpretive center in Jerusalem), which I visited with my father and sister in 1996. In one room I remember this sculpture and books (probably the records of victims), but I am unsure if these things really existed or I have imagined them.

Exhibition Space 2004
2004 |
)
|
| This image, also featured in the "surviving Memory" show, (exhibited during the Edinburgh festival in the Tron Kirk on the high street, where many people searching for history would come for information from the adjacent old town tourist information centre in 2005) was originally from an image taken of the Prison garments of the prisoners of Buchenwald concentration camp. They were exhibited in a room where the slightest breeze would animate them disturbingly. |

| 未来的展览 | |
| Concerned with the connection between art and the changing natural environment, I have recently started seeking a route and funding for a journey from Glasgow’s river Clyde to Clyde River (on Baffin Island in the territory of Nunavut), in order to discover some adventure and my roots in the far north of Canada, on my way home to the west coast. I plan to document this journey, and exhibit the work I create from it. Some preliminary research have taken the form of pen and ink portraits of people who give me lifts hitch-hiking throughout the UK, drawn together with fragments of their conversation and facts about their lives on small pieces of recycled paper. Continually the topics of environmental sustainability, climate change, green consciousness and politics come up with little prompting. It is becoming a survey, a representing of the views and opinions of a nation of diverse people, and I am excited about the potential for this project. |
